Category Archives: Poetry: Tears Of A Poet

There are times I sit and stare off into an endless ocean of shadows that drift within the winds of my own thoughts. Sometimes I am that man who sees everything with clarity when there is nothing but chaos surrounding me. There are times I grasp and hold onto everything complex because I don’t recognize […]

Words Forward It was not so long ago that I found the words to express all that I’ve come to know in this world and within this life that I have been given to live. It was not so long ago that I broke the silence and found a voice within […]

Sometimes I hate when I’m supposed to love. I stare off into cluttered windows watching the eyes of my heart dilate into fragments of distance loudly shattering in the destination of this world unhealed. Those are the times I am numb when I’m supposed to feel holding on to pain I didn’t even know I […]

I am standing here watching words drizzle on the granite sidewalks of time/ they are endless emotions cascading on smooth marbled plateaus of thought. The sensory of eyelids revel in the sensationalism of reality as the framework of vision become more than a conspiracy of vivid fascinations. I am smiling at the wind as the […]

I wouldn’t say I am one for sitting on bar stools in empty dirty bars studying time, but here I am/ all alone/ staring out a stainless glass window watching life happen and wondering about the sublime. So many heartbeats out there strive for greatness; so many dreams colliding while searching for possibilities hidden […]

There are times I walk through pouring rain with no umbrella to shield me from all that grieves the pain. The world watches me as I tremble through muddied cemented fields where sadness remains and scurry past landmarks studied through a mind of loneliness as I remember tears I never allowed to sweat as my […]

Written for Sheila Vann on her 50th Birthday Rich in your soul is the history of strength, soiled foundations that have seeded growth, distilled tears and refused pain. In your eyes is the genetics of sacrifice, the agriculture of hope that has risen from the depths of poverty’s rain – and in […]

Madonna may be one of the most talented and marketable names within the realm of pop music, but it’s important to remember that she’s also played a role (plenty of pun intended) in making fantastic Hollywood films throughout her career. So it’s not too surprising to hear that Madonna is reportedly... […]
